Hi all,
has anybody tried the following:
redirect logging to a single log host (simple so far) with tcp. Use syslog-ng both for the log host and the log clients. What happens if the connection between client and host times out? Does syslog-ng store messages until it can successfully connect to the log host again or are those messages lost?
Sorry if this was discussed before, but I could not find it in my current mailing list archive.
syslog-ng buffers messages up to a user settable limit. By default this is 100 messages, and you can set it by the log_fifo_size() option, which both global, and can be set by a per-destination basis IIRC. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt
